Denver Public Schools and Get Smart Schools are hosting two information sessions starting this weekend to help Denver parents navigate the school choice application [2] due Jan. 31. Some parents have been expressing frustration [3]in learning the new process.

The main point of the sessions, titled, “How do kids get assigned to DPS[4] schools,” is to explain the form, the procedure and the matching process in detail.
